Find the Right Umbraco Upgrade Route

Your current version, packages, custom code, content structure, integrations and hosting determine the work involved.

We review the existing site and recommend the most suitable route to Umbraco 17 LTS or, where its newer capabilities are needed, Umbraco 18 STS.

  • Direct Upgrade

    For sites that can move through the required versions with limited redevelopment.

  • Phased Migration

    For older sites with significant content, packages or custom functionality.

  • Selective Rebuild

    For features that are no longer suitable for the target version.

  • New Umbraco Foundation

    For sites where rebuilding on the current platform is better than carrying the old setup forward.

  • Umbraco 7

    Migration planning for content, media, URLs, templates, packages and custom code.

  • Umbraco 8

    A tested route for property editors, Forms, member areas, search and integrations.

  • Umbraco 10

    Code, package and database updates for Umbraco 17 LTS or Umbraco 18 STS.

  • Umbraco 13

    A direct route to Umbraco 17 LTS, with Umbraco 18 STS considered when its newer features suit the project.

Planning Beyond Umbraco 13

Umbraco 13 reaches End of Life on 14 December 2026. After that date, standard security patches and updates from Umbraco HQ end.

  • Move to Umbraco 17 LTS

    The main route from Umbraco 13, with a direct LTS-to-LTS upgrade path and support through 27 November 2028

  • Use Umbraco 13 XLTS

    For teams that cannot complete the upgrade before December 2026, XLTS provides critical security patches and compliance support for 6, 12 or 24 months.

    XLTS creates additional planning time. It does not add new platform features.

  • Target Umbraco 18 STS

    Umbraco 18 may suit teams that need its Library and Elements capabilities now. Its shorter STS lifecycle should be included in future upgrade planning. Umbraco 18 reaches End of Life on 25 June 2027.

    We review the site setup, packages, integrations, hosting and release constraints before recommending the target version.
